Internal friction in the Earth' crust and transverse seismic waves
A transverse harmonic seismic wave, which propagates through the upper fractured layer of the Earth towards the Earth's surface, is considered. It is shown that the attenuation of a seismic wave in the Earth's upper crust is due to internal friction, i.e., friction between the sides of mic...
